Well, its not really tied to OCAL at all (even though I expect that in 
practice that's where 99.5% of clipart viewed in it will come from), but it 
uses metadata heavily. Its modularized, so its reasonably simple to get clip 
art from somewhere other than OCAL. The code is available in Inkscape cvs 
(module clipartbrowser) or from

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4098

It isn't quite integrated into Inkscape yet, but that should be coming very 
soon.
